Jiddu Krishnamurti was a philosopher born in 1895 in India who spoke about the need for radical change in mankind. He believed education should help discover lasting values and breakdown social barriers instead of just teaching facts. His views criticized nationalism for creating divisions and substituting religion. Krishnamurti saw education as a way to cultivate right relationships and inner transformation through non-judgmental self-examination. He argued education's purpose was to prepare students for life by making them think freely instead of conforming to society.
